some chemical and medicine store in coloured bottle because


some chemical and medicine store in coloured bottle because


in the presence of sunlight it decomposes into it's a reactant so that some chemical and medicine store in coloured bottle to prevent it from decomposition.




when the bottle is kept in sunlight it goes into photo lighting decomposition reaction


so to prevent photolytic decomposition reaction there is requirement of kept the chemical in two coloured bottle instead of a simple bottle.



for example:-


hydrogen peroxide is kept into from light in normal bottle then it decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen.



reaction that's show decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide is :-

H202 ==∆==== > H2 + 02


where there is decomposition reaction take place because it does not kept into coloured bottle.




to prevent the decomposition reaction be kept in two coloured bottles for example mainly black in colour.

This is because some chemicals are photosensitive meaning that they break down when exposed to light. A good example of this is Hydrogen Peroxide (H3O). Because the bonds are unstable due  to the fact that oxygen can only bond with two other electrons when each of the Hydrogens each have one electron. Therefore the energy of the light (photons) is great enough to break it up into water and Hydrogen gas.
